Sources Sought Notice MH-60R/MH-60S Aircraft Maintenance and Repair

Fleet Logistics Center Yokosuka (FLCY) and Fleet Readiness Center Western Pacific (FRC WESTPAC) are seeking interested contractors with MH-60R/MH-60S maintenance experience to provide Scheduled and Unscheduled Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services for United States Navy MH-60R/MH-60S aircraft forward deployed in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) Area of Responsibility

(AOR).

This Sources Sought should not be construed as a formal solicitation or an obligation on the part of the Government of the United States to acquire any parts or services. Any information provided to the Government is strictly voluntary and at no cost to the Government. Any formal solicitation will be announced separately. The Government is only interested at this point in identifying interested and capable contractors for these services.

The place of performance will be in facilities proposed by the Contractor. Contractor’s facility shall be located within 400 nautical miles (740.8 Kilometers) of NAF Atsugi unless the contractor has the capability to pick up MH-60R/S from NAF Atsugi (transport via contractor’s cargo aircraft), perform maintenance services on the MH-60 at its facility located in the Indo Pacific region, and return the aircraft to NAF Atsugi (transport via contractor’s cargo aircraft). Additionally, the Contractor's facility shall not require an ocean transit flight of more than 100 nautical miles (185 Kilometers) unless H-60 is transported by aircraft cargo/C-17. Specifically, the Government is interested in identifying capable Contractors in the Indo Pacific region inside countries with a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) or a similar diplomatic arrangement with the United States.

The Contractor’s repair facilities must meet the following criteria:

1) Maintenance hangar(s) capable of supporting ten (10) nominally and up to thirteen

(13) surge MH-60R/S aircrafts simultaneously and required common support equipment, tools, and environmental support equipment;

2) Automatic hangar fire suppression system;

3) Paint stripping, priming and painting capability and the safe handling of all

Hazardous Materials;

4) GFM/GFE acceptance, inventory, maintenance, and shelf-life monitoring

The Contractor’s workforce qualifications must meet the following criteria:

1) The Contractor shall ensure personnel are qualified or supervised by qualified personnel IAW the Local Engineering Specification (LES) and the NAVAIR MH- 60R/S IMP Specification;

2) The qualifications shall be in compliance with all appropriate publications and United State Government (USG) operating procedures.

Contractor MRO support will include the following:

1) Depot Level Maintenance

Depot Level Maintenance (also known as Heavy Maintenance) tasks/actions are those requiring major overhaul or complete rebuilding, remanufacturing, or modification of aircraft structures, parts, assemblies, and end items, including support equipment in accordance with the Integrated Maintenance Plan (IMP) Specification and other applicable maintenance manuals.

2) Scheduled Maintenance – Planned Maintenance Interval (PMI) work under IMP

IMP requirements provide for airframe, systems, and component inspection through visual and Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) methods, defect correction, preventative maintenance, operational checkouts and Technical Directive compliance.

The IMP requirements for aircraft subject to this process are the minimum requirements, formulated and established to the depth required to ensure the reliability, operational availability, safe operation and airworthiness of the aircraft for the duration of the established service period. The IMP Program will provide depot support throughout the total service life of the aircraft.

a. PMI-1N and PMI-2N events for MH-60R/S will comply with the latest Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) MH-60R/S IMP Specification.

b. Off-site PMI-1N and PMI-2N events for MH-60R/S will comply based on the latest NAVAIR MH-60R/S IMP Specification.

c. The anticipated total annual aircraft inductions are to be determined (TBD).

d. The contract type will be indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) and will not guarantee either the quantity or frequency of aircraft inductions.

e. The Contractor shall be capable of supporting a nominal workload of 10 aircraft in flow, with a surge capacity up to 13 aircraft in flow.

f. Aircraft inducted for PMI will be delivered to the Contractor’s facility. This is only applied to the contractor’s facility located within 400 nautical miles (740.8 Kilometers) of NAF Atsugi and no ocean transit flight of more than 100 nautical miles (185 Kilometers).

3) Unscheduled Maintenance

Unscheduled Maintenance are the tasks that are not related to a specific IMP Scheduled Maintenance requirement in NAVAIR MH-60R/S IMP Specification. Unscheduled Maintenance is further divided into 4 subcategories:

a. Over and above (O&A)

O&A tasks are repairs performed concurrent with a PMI event. Refer to the Defense Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.217-7028 for a thorough description of Over and Above Work.

b. In-Service Repairs (ISR)

ISR requests are for depot level repairs. ISR work can be issued for inducted and non-inducted aircraft. ISR work may require the Contractor to dispatch personnel as a contractor field service team (CFT) to perform aircraft repairs at remote locations.

c. Customer Service Request (CSR)

CSR requests come from operational fleet or the MH-60R/S T/M/S program office for both inducted and non-inducted aircraft. CSR requirements include, but are not limited to Organizational and Intermediate level maintenances. CSR work may require the Contractor to dispatch personnel as a contractor field service team (CFT) to perform aircraft repairs at remote locations.

d. Depot-Level Technical Directives (TD)

TD (aircraft modification and bulletins) shall be accomplished either concurrently with PMI events or as standalone actions.

The Government will normally provide technical directive kits, special materials, and special support equipment required for completing modifications.

4) Engineering Support

Engineering services, necessary to support the requirements of the contract, will include submittal of repair procedures for review and approval by the Government.

5) Logistics Support

Logistics services necessary to support the requirements of the contract, including timely supply data and material requisition requests necessary for completing aircraft maintenance requirements within the established Turnaround Time (TAT). The USG will directly fund procurement of all material.

6) Program Management Support

The Government shall provide Program Management necessary to support the requirements of the contract, including annual Program Management Reviews (PMR), weekly production meetings and Production Plans that identify the critical path to PMI completion within the established TAT.
